they'll limit the networks in the immediate area for now. terrible news. is it bad that I felt quite sad as well for the people who got so near to the finish line and then ended up getting pulled off over to the side?

Sky show footage of the explosion and talk about it, but if you look on the same side of the road 200 metre's away from the finish line there's a second explosion, they go on to say there was another across the road.

don't know how to say this, but 2 is a pretty low fatality rate for a lot of people in a confined area. saw some tweets on the reuters thing saying they were 10ft away from the explosion - that's a small bomb, if it was a bomb

BBC are usually the slowest to report, just because they tend to stick to confirmed stories on the newswires or from their local reporters, whereas other stations will happily go with Twitter, etc.
